Study Tip
The students should have completed all of their cursive upper and lower case letters by this point in the year. Encourage your child to practice using his or her cursive skills regularly to help reinforce and strengthen these writing skills. You could have your child jot down a grocery list, write a note to someone, or even complete their homework in cursive!
